        Sthala Puran

        There once lived a sculptor in a village called Porulvaithaseri chanting ever the glory of Lord Muruga with Sharavana Bhava mantra. 

        He sculpted an idol of the Lord with six faces. Seeing the beauty of the idol, a jealous Chola king cut off the thumb of the sculptor so that he could not do another one for anybody.

        The sculptor moved to another village, and enduring all the pain made out another one with equal beauty. 

        The chieftain of the village saw this idol and enjoyed its beauty. 

        While the idol was nearing completion rays of light flew from the idol and the peacock bearing Lord Muruga began to fly. 

        The chieftain cried, jumped and caught it meaning Ettipidi in Tamil. In the effort of catching it, the leg portion of the peacock was a little damaged. 

        This idol was installed here. The name of the place came to be known as Ettipidi, changed to Ettikudi and finally stood as Ettukudi. 

        The sculptor made a third idol also which was installed in Enkan. 

        The first was installed in Sikkal, the second in Ettukudi. All the idols are similar to look at.

        Lord Muruga in this temple appears in different forms to the eyes of the devotees depending on the imagination of their mind as a child, youth and an elderly person.

        Lord Soundaranayakar and Mother Anandavalli grace the devotees as the parents of Lord Muruga in the temple. 

        There are shrines for Nardana Ganapathi, Juradevar, Srinivasa Soundararaja Perumal, Anjaneya, Mother Manonmani, Ammai Appan, Mahalakshmi, Sani Baghwan (Saturn) and Bhairava.

        The temple will be opened on the previous day of Poornima and would not be closed till the following day of Poornima-full moon when milk abishek would be performed continuously. 

        Devotees would be thronging in thousands with their Milk Pot Kavadis – a minimum of 23,000.
